The best restaurants serving British food in England

An amazing experience from start to finish. Beautiful food, great service - staff were knowledgeable, responsive and friendly. It was the perfect setting for our celebration

Lovely afternoon tea. The staff are so helpful and accommodating the food is very tasty and filing. I will definitely come back here x

Brilliant place. Great atmosphere

Came here for a Saturday breakfast before the long drive home. Arrived around 11 and was informed of a 30min wait for which they kindly took our number and phoned us up when ready. We waited only 15 mins in the pub next door before we called back! The service, food, and experience were all top notch. The full english was served perfectly and the coffee was superbly made. The prices were good for the quality on offer. Everyone was very friendly and I'm so glad I was recommended to come here.

Popped in on Saturday. The food is lovely, the staff are so nice. We had the Polish sausage, beetroot soup, and pierogi. The food was so tasty. We had to have a dessert too. Wish I could visit every day. The afternoon tea that the table next to us looked delicious.

Not been for a long time, but today decided to pop over for a breakfast. I ordered the 8 item breakfast and you can choose any items you like to make it with. I choose... 2x Bacon with were good soze pieces and very lean. 2x Sausages which were thick and meaty with just a hint of Cumberland taste. 2x Eggs 1x Hash Brown cooked until crisp outside but still tasty and fluffy on the inside. 1x Fried Bread, thick sliced and crunchy outside but not at all greasy. By far the best I have found in a long time. Service was fast and polite. The lady in charge found time for all the customers from a greeting at the door to advice on the menu and then some pleasantries to make you feel a valued customer. Free chilled water saved you adding a bottle to your bill. This is excellent value, especially for Birchington High Street.

Fantastic traditional type pub serving amazingly great food. Awesome thanks 👌

Bit of a wait at 6.30pm on a Friday night, but nice fish and chips.

Really good coffee. The cake I ordered was lovely too. So pleasant to sit by the canal on this sunny afternoon after a trip through Civil War history.

Brilliant place very friendly staff and sharing board five star ⭐

The hot beef is the absolute best sandwich I've ever had! The staff are really friendly and welcoming, its great to see somewhere like this doing so well

¡Absolutamente brillante! Hemos comido aquí por 3 de 4 noches! Comida increíble, servicio excepcional! ¡Karl fue excepcional! ¡Gracias! Sin duda volveremos de nuevo!

Food was incredible, service as well. Had a pre-birthday dinner here & nothing disappointed! Will definitely be back

Another amazing evening at the Gateway. We were excited to try Sam's Taste of the Far East and it didn't disappoint in fact it was probably our favourite meal at the Gateway yet. The atmosphere was lovely and we felt spoilt throughout the evening. The flavours were fabulous and the presentation was another 6 star. If you haven't been then you should get on the mailing list and book for there next pop up.

Great breakfast, lovely host and loved the old fashioned decor. Was amazing ice cream parlour and has some original features. Amazing pot of strong tea, fab full English with good quality products and REAL HP/Heinz sauce in glass bottles!! Took two slices of homemade cakes home which were equally as tasty. Great find, will be definitely returning next month when back in the area. Dog friendly too
